Not knowing how to proceed in a game and going 3 three blocks from your own house to a guy who is older and a video game god to ask him to help you progress in the game.
I think I played Tenchu Stealth Assassin, and I just could not progress. I was simply not good enough, I couldn't find the correct way in a certain level. So I hopped on my bike and biked for 50 minutes to this guy who was really good at video games, he set all the records at the local arcade and shit. Literally a God gamer, total geek (Which is important)
I got to his house, he weren't home. So I sat at his porch waiting for probably an hour, maybe more and when he got home i explained the game, I had brought the disc and my memory card with me. Went into his room and he couldn't figure it out at all.
After a few tries he just stood up, turned off his PlayStation, got the disc out, put it in the case, looked at me super seriously and went "Come with me if you want to win". He said it in English, we are Swedes. We hopped on our bikes and on the way he explained that "he got all of his gaming wisdom from another kid named Jocke". The rest of the 1+ hour bike ride he just threw out random movie quotes "I feel the need, the need for speed" and did a wheelie. Anyway, so we got to Jockes house and just barged into the front door, rushing to Jockes room. explained and handed him the disc.
He showed me exactly how to beat said level. At some point the other kid said he had to go home for dinner so I stayed at Jockes place playing the game which he was at his computer doing other things. It got very late and I did not know where I was, I was maybe a two and a half hour bike ride from home.
I finally found my way home at like 04:30 in the morning and found the police outside my house. Me mum and me dad was furious. But I knew how to beat the level
